Centennial Olympic Park

Centennial Park District

  • Attractions

Atlanta's downtown Olympic park sits between the convention district and several of the city's biggest attractions. It's a convenient free outdoor stop when you want a short break from convention halls, cards, crowds, and fluorescent lighting.

Editor Tip

You do not need to turn this into a full sightseeing trip. It works well as a short walk or reset between MagicCon activities and is surrounded by other downtown attractions.

Georgia Aquarium

Centennial Park District

  • Attractions

One of Atlanta's signature attractions and an easy downtown option for MagicCon visitors building extra sightseeing into the weekend. The aquarium contains more than 11 million gallons of water and is located just across Centennial Olympic Park from the convention district.

Editor Tip

This is best treated as a planned outing rather than a quick convention break. Hours vary by date, so check the aquarium's schedule before deciding when to leave MagicCon.

National Center for Civil and Human Rights

Centennial Park District

  • Attractions

A major Atlanta museum connecting the history of the U.S. civil rights movement with contemporary human-rights issues. Its downtown location makes it one of the strongest cultural attractions to pair with a MagicCon trip.

Editor Tip

Plan roughly 90–120 minutes for a typical visit. Current hours are 10 AM–5 PM Tuesday through Saturday and noon–5 PM Sunday, with last entry at 4 PM.

Chick-fil-A College Football Hall of Fame

Centennial Park

  • Attractions
  • Closest to Venue

An interactive celebration of college football just steps from the Georgia World Congress Center. The Hall combines college football history and memorabilia with hands-on exhibits, personalized digital experiences, a massive helmet wall, and an indoor playing field where visitors can test their throwing and kicking skills.

Editor Tip

This is one of the easiest major Atlanta attractions to fit into a MagicCon weekend because it sits directly beside the convention center. Plan about 2–3 hours if you want to explore the exhibits and spend time on the indoor field. It’s also included with Atlanta CityPASS, making the pass especially worth considering if you plan to visit several attractions during your trip.
